When Rasa Malaysia announced that she'll be coming back to Penang/KL, some bloggers decided that we should do a gathering. Of course, a gathering of food bloggers would involve food...and more food. Boo_licious organized a hawker food "tour" on Friday night and Audrey organised a dinner of Thai/Penang fusion food at Makansutra on Saturday night. As a matter of fact, I just came back a couple of hours ago from the dinner (will also blog on that later).

Nicely decorated, Jalan Alor is a tourist attraction. With lots and lots of restaurants and stalls, it is truly a food haven.

Wong Ah Wah is well known for its Chicken Wings and also serves dishes. The place is usually crowded and you can see the staff in the kitchen area working furiously away! Woks aligned in a row and a big steamer, all are being utilised well.

Working furiously at the grill too, roasting the chicken wings.

As we were going to stop by other food venue(s) after this place, we ordered 4 dishes. Of course with food bloggers, we all whipped out our cameras and started clicking away when the food arrived. The good thing about eating with other food bloggers is that we are usually a patient lot, unlike our other non blogging friends who will be sighing away or asking how much longer they will have to wait till they can eat the dish! LOL...So, I guess a few of us will be blogging about this outing and the one on Saturday too.

The chicken wings were good, but not as good as before when I used to patronize this place more often in the late 80's. You can taste the "smoked" chicken with its slightly burnt and flavourful skin.The simple Brussel Sprouts that was done just right.I do not know how to eat Balitong! It's a snail like delicacy which I have yet to conquer. La la in Chinese Rice Wine soup - pretty good but mild, a tad more wine would be better. (Or was it suppose to be normal??? I forgot!)

To be continued ...Meng Kee Grill Fish and Squid and Hokkien Mee at Jalan Cheng Lock!

My first balitong attempt was at WAW. Had difficult time digging the snail out and i think i sucked too hard, major headache after the dinner! Anyway...great pics of yummy food. BTW, why is Jackson calling you sifu?

of course, for those of you who've never met wmw in real life, and are depending on her avatar on her profile to give you an impression of what she looks like, BE NOT DECEIVED, she looks NOTHING like that very misleading picture!!!!

kok: Wahhh...You have a lot of catching up to do on the food here! Hee hee..

boo : Nice meeting you too...and it's uncanny how your two friends and I had some things in common! Ha ha ha...thanks for the compliment. It's fixed then, the avatar on the blog stays since it's misleading. Teckiee recognized me though, hmmmm....
